Key Points
- This bill creates a new training program to help government workers spot and stop fraud. It focuses on teaching employees how to use data tools and federal systems to make sure tax dollars go to the right people and are not paid out by mistake.
- Federal employees who manage programs, handle money, or oversee grants would be required to take this training. They must finish it within six months of starting their job and repeat the training every two years to stay up to date.
- The training would also be available to state, local, and tribal government workers who manage federal money. In some cases, federal agencies could require these local workers to take the training as a condition for receiving grant money.
- The program is estimated to cost 5 million dollars per year. The Treasury Department and the Office of Management and Budget will be responsible for running the program and reporting to Congress every year on how well it is working to reduce fraud.
